Resolve

God's been speaking to me a lot about resolve....and I read this last night:


Never revise decisions. If you have made a wrong decision, then face the music and stand up to it; do not whimper and say--"I won't do that again." Take the initiative, take the step with your will now; burn your bridges behind you--"I will write that letter"; "I will pay that debt"; make it impossible to go back on the decision. Sentimentality always begins when we refuse to obey, when we refuse to take some stand God has told us to because of an insinuation that has come in from somewhere. If we hesitate, insinuations are sure to come."

-Chambers, Grow Up in Him, Take the Initiative
